This song is about how someone is feeling perhaps beginning off a tour, 'as long as i believe (in love) like this skin you're showin'
and the keys you gave to me' (to their tour car)
(keys to aspects of life)
I relate to this song beacuse I too am a gambler, and I know what it's like to look at the world and breathe in easy the gasoline into my blood and only feel comfort in the eyes of all night jails or casinos. "Nightjails...poolhalls
Some things are everywhere
So for the past
I'm diggin a grave so big,
It will swallow up the sea"
Perhaps he wants to drown out the (not so gutsy) past in a new feeling, in a big grave.
the last stanza about seeing things in life you thought you would, is about how the world is really quite hard and after a while of being a gambler you realize you can't live off of your good vibes and good luck. you need reality and common sense as well.
"Oh I know...it's never easy
When there's trouble waitin' for me"
Someone's out to get him
